"The interesting thing about Shanghai, or China, really—there is nothing on the walls. It's completely different from in London, or New York, or Paris—people are used to that, so it's quite funny, actually, because the reaction of the people here is so...they are smiling, they laugh, which is cool. But they don't understand. It's like, "Great, but what is it for? What are you trying to say? What company are you working for?"
So it's quite interesting, actually, because in Western countries, you say "no, it's free—it's just for the 'art'." But let's be honest—at some point, you're also just advertising yourself. So here, that's more like the first reaction. When they ask "What are you saying?" and you explain "...well, I'm not saying, but..." It makes you think when they ask. And you admit, well, yes, actually...I am promoting myself. Fair enough. But, it's particularly interesting because there is really nothing on the walls. So it's kind of like, new terrain...like a desert. Which is good, because that's what I'm looking for."
